Saturday 23rd September

Roundshaw 5k Time Trial

With no league fixture this weekend, and with the important home fixture the following weekend (30/9), this Saturday sees the team meet at the School Sports Pavilion at Plough Lane to walk the short distance to the start of the Roundshaw 5k Parkrun.

To the Year 7 students chosen, as you ran so well in the Year 7 Mile race at your first games session you have been included in the JFS team this Saturday.

This does not mean you no longer have a chance to play rugby. Mr Osborne is fully aware of who has been selected for this fixture and agrees that it will help your fitness.

There are thousands of these 5k (3.1 miles) races every Saturday all across the UK and wider world – it has become a running phenomenon. It is a public event open to anyone and is free to enter. Therefore, if any parents or siblings want to run this Saturday you are more than welcome.

The race is 2 laps of the old airfield behind our playing fields and the boys will be timed and the results are published later that day on the website. Information can be found at www.parkrun.org.uk/roundshaw/

The distance will be a challenge to a lot of our runners, especially the younger age groups who have less experience  and so if the Year 7 runners wish to stop running at the end of the first lap they can do so – I will be at that position. If they feel fresh they can, of course, complete the course.

We will meet at the Pavilion at 8.15 as the race begins at 9.00. If you want to meet us at the start of the race itself, details are on the link above, but basically the start is near to the Battle of Britain Memorial on Purley Way.

If you have never run a Parkrun you will need to register before the race online. You will then have to print off a barcode which you carry in your pocket when running. This is then used to link the time to the runner.

I will be available in Room 72 (The ICT room) Friday lunchtime for any runners who need to register and print off their details.
